2016 eBay purchases: Rich Hill wins the Cyan Young award

If you're reading this here post having come over from TMV this evening you already got to see a nice high-end eBay addition to my Charlie Gehringer PC. Now you'll get to take a gander at my other recent eBay score, this one of a decidedly more modern player: playoff-bound(!) pitcher Rich Hill, currently of the Dodgers:

Rich Hill 2007 SPx Winning Materials Printing Plate Cyan (1/1)

If some of you are like "He found another Rich Hill plate?!" well then, yes, indeedy I did! And I didn't even have to pay $8, which was even better.

The 2007 SPx set is one that's largely eluded me in terms of Hill's cards. It took me a long time to nab his Young Stars Signatures auto, then I even found a plate version of that, but I've literally never even seen any of his 21(!) different Winning Materials variations. So naturally I found a plate version of those as well. At least that gives me some evidence that those relics exist!
